“What Not to Wear” kicked off its tenth season earlier this month by giving ’80s pop star Tiffany an amazing makeover with Yahoo! TV noting that Stacy London and Clinton Kelly “knocked it out of the park.” But while the co-hosts clearly work well together, it doesn’t mean they haven’t had their struggles personally.

While chatting with omg!, Kelly admitted that he and London are not exactly besties when the camera stops rolling.

"Stacy and I have worked so closely together for 10 years – ridiculously close – that we’re at a point where...” the 43-year-old says, trailing off for moment. “We have had our ups and downs quite frankly. There were some seasons where we just could not look at each other,” he adds before clarifying, “Actually, I feel like that was one season to be perfectly honest.”

And now? “We’re at this point where Stacy and I have evolved so much as people over the past 10 years – we really have learned so much about ourselves in the process of doing ‘What Not to Wear’ – that we have both come to a peace. Not necessarily in our relationship, but in life,” shares Kelly, who juggles the popular makeover series with his other job as the lifestyles expert on ABC’s “The Chew” and is also writing another book.

“We’re both in places right now personally in our private lives that are just really peaceful,” continues Kelly, who married Damon Bayles in 2009. “So we come to work and we have a great time with each other. We just laugh together all day long. But at the same time, it’s like – she goes home and I go home and it is what it is. I would say we’re great friends at work.”

Labels aside, their chemistry has been keeping the makeover series rolling for over a decade, with many fun things in store for its milestone 10th season. In addition to “I Think We're Alone Now" crooner Tiffany’s major transformation, this season they’ll get their hands on former “Baywatch” babe Nicole Eggert (that airs tonight), “Family Ties” alum Tina Yothers, “American Pie” beauty Shannon Elizabeth,” and a bunch of regular ole folks, too.
